77,000 miles. Very good condition, owned by owner of Porsche garage.
I have no idea what they are worth..
Im also interested - if you could message me further details when you are ready to sell.I have no idea what they are worth..
In terms of value they do seem be all over the place, plus there is some wrecks and also some chancers out there which doesn't help when trying to gauge prices in the classifieds.

So, I finally gave into the voices in my head and ordered the following items:
- Peugeot OEM front brake discs 247mm vented
- Mintex M1144 front brake pads
- Replacement front suspension top mount kit inc. bearing & nuts
- Bilstein group N tarmac front/rear dampers
- 165lb Faulkner springs
- BMC air filter element
- Peugeot Sport group N exhaust system
I just need them to hurry up and get here now!

Well Im also now finally the proud owner of a S1 Rallye - Peugeot OEM front brake discs 247mm vented
- Mintex M1144 front brake pads
- Replacement front suspension top mount kit inc. bearing & nuts
- Bilstein group N tarmac front/rear dampers
- 165lb Faulkner springs
- BMC air filter element

Mine is completely standard, with the exception of B8 Bilsteins on the rear. As much as I want to keep the car completely OEM, I'm thinking to some modern dampers and tyres (currently on P6000’s
) are possibly the way forward. I was therefore thinking of fitting B6 Bilsteins on the front with the original Rallye springs to keep the ride height the same, but would be interested to hear how you have got on with the group N Bilsteins before I make the final decision?Have seen this advert, and it seems an attractive proposition

But, am I correct in thinking that the Rallye had a 1300 iron block engine and not alloy, and not 1360cc? Therefore this car has had an engine swap?

Rallye had an alloy (1,293cc) engine but the XSi had the iron block 1,360cc engine. They both, effectively, had the same head (in the UK).
That says it's built from a quicksilver alloy block. So, larger capacity than the Rallye but still alloy. Uses the Rallye head and maybe XSi pistons to raise compression.
So, benefits of XSi capacity without iron block XSi engine weight.
I have a 'Cup' engine in the garage, which is basically the same as they have built (1,360cc alloy).

Thanks for the clarification. Yhe fact it's had an engine swap makes it less attractive, but I guess that's why it's the price it is.That says it's built from a quicksilver alloy block.

I have neglected the poor Rallye this year.
The battery is flat and to say it could do with a wash would be an understatement.
However, I am also moving in September and won't have room for four cars anymore!
it will fly through it's MOT and then after that I'll be putting it up for sale.
If anyone is in the market for a really good example with a few choice upgrades, please let me know.

Good vid. However I think his steering is knackered if he thinks it is not directI have had quite a lot of stuff on over the last year, but managed to get the car cleaned before taking her out for a spirited drive at the weekend.
I forgot how great these are! The gearbox is so exploitable and it never gets boring adjusting things to keep the fizzy little 8 valve engine singing. I can't rememeber what it was like before I switched the suspension to the bilsteins, but the car can be placed wherever you want it on the road with millimeter accuracy. I guess it's no surprise these are listed in Evo's 100 Greatest Drivers' Cars!
Anywhere, here are a few pictures for thread prosperity:

The cockpit:
Ah, la vache!
The PEUGEOT SECURITY SYSTEM is IN OPERATION:
The fizzy bit:
For me though, it's the little things:

Thanks Ben.
I'm based in Tonbridge. How about you?
I have someone coming to look at the car on Saturday with a view to buying it, but happy to get in touch if it doesn't sell.

I'm Tonbridge too. Used to have a 106GTi, probably one of my favourite cars ever. I'm based in Tonbridge. How about you?

Thomas
If it doesn't go to in the near future, please get in touch.

I held the car for an enthusiast that asked the right questions and showed the right type of commitment.
He was pleased with the car and understood the opportunity.
Very sad to see her go, but confidence that it's the right decision to reduce the number of cars I have for "leisure", with a view to getting something more usable on a day to day basis.
